Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think I'd like Netflix more if they didn't pull shit like the "skip intro button", fucking with the color timing, or immediately cutting away from the end credits to sell you an ad for some shitty comedy special.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Alex, Netflix brings out hundreds of new shows and many many movies globally each year. You really think its all quality viewing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Princess Switch, I haven't seen it (and I never will), but The Princess Switch gets a whopping 90% on RT. And Bird Box, also developed by Netflix, is also getting pretty good reviews as well. ... and it looked great, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,352 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looks like I read the wiki article too quickly; It later says "In July 2017, it was announced that Netflix had acquired the rights to the book after Stuber became head of the feature film division of Netflix and would develop the film". Anyhoo, I didn't like that movie. I was surprised by how much hype it continues to have because I thought it was kinda boring and cliched and not very well made. A Quiet Place was loads better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well, I liked it. Albeit similar, Bird Box and A Quiet Place entertained me in different ways. I give them both no more than a 6/10 though ... I think Darabont's The Mist is better. I gave that one a 7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Who 919 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Netflix have producerad a few great shows like HoC and Stranger things but as a viewer you get tired of all their new Netflix original teen comedy movies/shows which constantly get advertised and mostly look terrible.

A24 4,331 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I loved Mindhunter. Waiting for S2 as well as The OA S2. Check out the movie Calibre, one of their latest bought titles.

Mindhunter, The OA, Stranger Things and Ozark are ones I've seen and liked. Lost In Space, Altered Carbon, The Haunting of Hill House and The Crown have their fans but I haven't seen them. I watched Lemony Snicket season 1 but haven't seen 2 or 3 yet. If you like their Marvel shows, they have 6 now - Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and The Defenders. I watched DD1, JJ1, and LC1 then gave up. For comedies, Wet Hot American Summer is amazing if you like David Wain's comedy style, Santa Clarita Diet is OK (season 2 was better than 1), GLOW is OK, Big Mouth is GREAT - but it's not for everyone.

Jay 37,352 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Season 2 of Ozark is like season 1 on steroids. Everything kicked up a notch. I liked both about the same, maybe 2 is a little better. If you gave the show a few episodes and gave up, it's not for you, and continuing is unlikely to change your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Season 2, the series lost its Coenesque Breaking Bad perspective of the normal, ordinary everyman descending into gangsterhood. We no longer see through the eyes or get inside the head of Marty Byrde. Without a psychological angle, Ozark has turned into a shallow soap opera where every character is doing bad things. Somehow the show thinks that's all it needs to do to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
